Jeremy glanced at her calmly. “There’s nothing to be afraid of if you’re innocent.”“Of course I am!” Lana exclaimed, then turned to glare at Eve.She merely rolled her eyes when another pair of handcuffs were brought to her wrists.She was dazed. “Why are you arresting me, officers? I already told you everything I know. Why are you still arresting me?”“Who else would they arrest, then? Me?” Madeline smiled and fired back. “You say you’re innocent, Eve, and that you’ve been used. But none of this would’ve happened tonight if you didn’t have the heart to harm me in the first place.”“...”Speechless, Eve stared at Madeline’s tranquil expression. Not only was she feeling like an idiot for being used, but she had also completely lost to Madeline.With Lana and Eve brought away, Naomi was left to stomp her feet in infuriation.She watched with eyes reddened by envy as Ryan defended Madeline.Everyone who spoke ill of and suspected Madeline went up to give their sincere apologies.
Jeremy’s footsteps came to a heavy stop and he could not take another step.He watched as Madeline smiled at Ryan, her lips spreading as dimples bloomed on her face. Oh, how he wished that the smile was for him.Yet Jeremy knew that he was no longer worthy of such a smile.Taking Ryan’s hand, Madeline turned and stopped by Jeremy’s side as they brushed shoulders. “Why are you still here? Go and bail your girlfriend from the police station already. With a boyfriend as skilled as you, I’m sure she’ll be out in no time.”Jeremy knew that Madeline was mocking him.Smiling nonchalantly, he looked at Madeline’s dignified and distant eyes. “Thank you for the reminder, Miss Montgomery. I shall fetch my girlfriend home, then.”Fetch her home.Home.Madeline’s hand in Ryan’s tightened slightly as the chill blew through the riddled holes in her heart.Ignoring Jeremy, she turned to smile at Ryan.“You know, Rye, my last marriage was an absolute failure. Well, essentially, I got married
‘Why did I have to reach the shore?‘It’s not your fault, Linnie. I never deserved you to begin with.‘I hope you’ll never think of me again, the man who made you cry countless times.’Jeremy made sure not to bail Lana out. Instead, he made sure she stayed the full 48 hours under police custody first before he went to bail her out.When Lana returned to the villa, she began to scold Madeline to the heavens.“Your ex-wife sure has quite the tricks up her sleeve, Jeremy.” She mocked, saying, “Is she not afraid that I’ll kill her one day?”Jeremy’s brows knitted as a flurry of frost flashed through his eyes. “Eveline and I are already divorced. Why must you give yourself unnecessary trouble by going to bother her?”Lana ground her teeth indignantly as she walked toward Jeremy with suspicion in her eyes. “You still love Eveline, don’t you, Jeremy?”“I fancied her before, yes. After all, she’s a beautiful woman.” Jeremy’s tone was unfeeling as if he was talking about a random person
"Eveline!"Ryan was too late to stop it and quickly hailed a cab from the side of the road, wanting to chase after the car.He immediately dialed Madeline's number, but as soon as it connected, he was cut off.Worried about what crazy thing the people in the car would do, Ryan did not hesitate to return the call that was made to him just now. “Deploy Team A immediately. Get online and track my vehicle. Make sure that the people in the car are not in any danger!"The person on the other end received Ryan's instructions and immediately followed suit.Currently in Ryan's car.A shiny dagger was pressed against Madeline's neck, and in front of her, she saw Naomi clutching the steering wheel with one hand and squirming away frantically.She drove the car awkwardly and had run a few red lights.Madeline had just settled the matter of the charity night two days ago and only spared some time today to have a meal with Ryan. She did not expect Naomi to come to troubling them again at thi
When Naomi heard this, she was obviously irritated."It's impossible for you to be with me, is that right? You want to be with Eveline, is that right? Alright, I’ll die with her now!" It was as if Naomi had been possessed by the devil. She held the knife and was about to swing the blade down to stab Madeline in the heart.When Madeline was about to dodge, she suddenly saw Ryan reaching into his suit and pulling out a revolver from behind him. He aimed it at Naomi's knife and shot.The bullet landed precisely on the handle of the knife. The impact caused Naomi to immediately let go from the pain, and the knife fell to the ground.While Madeline was still shocked by Ryan's action, Ryan had already run up to her, took out a handkerchief, and pressed it on her bleeding neck. "Eveline, are you okay?"Seeing that Ryan was so worried about Madeline, Naomi picked up the dagger, got up, and wanted to hurt Madeline again.Naomi's hand that was raised suddenly rubbed against the hot bullet.
Madeline heard her son's cry and hurriedly came out barefoot.She hurriedly picked up the little guy to comfort him and reached out to take the bottle. However, when she brushed it with her hand, she felt that the bottle had been used before and the amount of milk in the bottle was now slightly less.She glanced at the little bun who was still crying with a look of confusion.It was impossible for this little baby to grab the bottle and drink it by himself.She thought it might have been Karen who had just arrived, so Madeline did not think much of it. After patiently sleeping with the little baby, she then dried her hair and lay down on the bed.She was very tired with the lamp on, but she did not fall asleep for a long time.Madeline opened the bedside cabinet drawer and took out the two wedding rings as well as the shell and bookmark.After looking carefully for a while, she put these into a jewelry box and sealed them in the underside of the cabinet.Looking at the other si
"You want to accompany me?" Lana looked surprised. "Really?"Jeremy nodded. "I’m your man now. Shouldn't it only be right for me to accompany you to deal with trivial matters?"Upon hearing this, Lana’s smile grew even wider. "Okay, you can come with me."The meeting place was a five-star restaurant, and Jeremy was walking beside Lana as they entered a private room.The other party was a gentleman who did not seem to be someone who would be involved in illegal transactions, but appearances could be deceiving.Jeremy listened indifferently as if he was just a trophy partner accompanying Lana.It did not take long for matters to be discussed smoothly. When he left, the man even teased by saying, “Miss Johnson, your new boyfriend doesn’t look half bad. It seems that the Stygian Johnson Gang’s business will only grow bigger and bigger.”Lana took out a cigarette smugly. "Of course. I’ll hand over part of the business to my boyfriend after this and will have to ask Mr. Xavier to look
Jeremy had not expected that Madeline would be marrying Ryan.He thought Madeline was lying to him, but after he opened the invitation letter, he did indeed see her and Ryan's names."A second marriage so soon?" Jeremy asked with a smile.Madeline looked at him coldly. "No, you’re wrong, it's the third.""...""I have split from and reunited with you so many times, even getting married twice and divorcing you twice. When I was desperate to get the divorce certificate with you the second time, I thought you would be my only support for the rest of my life, but the truth has proven that we will not come to fruition."Madeline looked at the man with a smile on her lips, shooting an indifferent glance over."I’m really tired. When I was young, I had hoped that my parents would love me and adore me. After nearly 30 years, I’ve finally gotten it, but they have now left me forever. When I grew up, I married the man I loved the most. I had hoped that this man could love me like how I lo
